You Don't Pay Unless We Win
Our personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis—that means you pay nothing upfront, and we only get paid if we successfully recover compensation for your case. We also advance all costs of litigation, so there's absolutely no financial risk to you.
If you have been injured, call us today and let Stavros Law Offices help maximize the compensation you are entitled to.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Our skilled trial attorneys have successfully represented clients in a wide range of personal injury matters, including:
Car & Automobile Accidents
Under Illinois law, you may recover monetary damages if you've been injured in a car accident due to another person's negligence or recklessness. Damages may include: Medical Costs, Property Loss, Lost Wages, Pain and Suffering, Permanency and Disability, and Loss of Normal Life. Your spouse may also have a claim for loss of consortium.
Motorcycle Accidents
Our attorneys are motorcycle enthusiasts ourselves—we understand the unique challenges and dangers motorcyclists face on Illinois roads. We have years of experience building successful cases for motorcyclists injured due to the negligence of others and know the laws enacted to protect riders.
Trucking & Semi-Truck Accidents
Large truck and tractor-trailer accidents can be devastating, life-changing events. We're familiar with federal and state laws, as well as federal regulations controlling the trucking industry. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling lawsuits for clients seriously injured in commercial vehicle accidents.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians are especially vulnerable and can suffer severe injuries or death when struck by motor vehicles. If you or a family member has been injured in a pedestrian accident through no fault of their own, we will provide the legal advice needed to recover just compensation for medical bills, injuries, and permanent disabilities.
Premises Liability (Slip & Fall)
When customers or guests are injured on public or private property due to negligent maintenance, property owners can be held liable. Our trained investigators know how to investigate premises liability cases and gather the evidence necessary to prove your case.
Dog Bites & Animal Attacks
Our attorneys have been very successful in prosecuting and settling personal injury claims under the Illinois Animal Control Act. Animal bites can leave victims with severe scars, nerve damage, emotional injuries, and substantial medical bills. We can evaluate whether you have an actionable claim against the animal owner.
Medical Malpractice
When healthcare providers fail to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in patient injury, you may have a medical malpractice claim. Our firm handles complex medical malpractice cases with the expertise and resources necessary to take on hospitals and insurance companies.
Wrongful Death
If you've lost a loved one due to another's negligence, our compassionate attorneys can help your family seek justice and compensation for your loss, including funeral expenses, lost income, and loss of companionship.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
At Stavros Law Offices, we work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront and owe us nothing unless we win your case.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Illinois?
Illinois generally has a two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims. However, some cases have shorter deadlines, so contact us as soon as possible.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident?
Illinois follows a "modified comparative fault" rule. You may still recover compensation as long as you were less than 50% at fault—your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

While not required, having an experienced attorney significantly increases your chances of receiving fair compensation. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers—you should too.
